gave little notice before informing party leaders of her decision she was long chancellor angela merkel's hand-picked successor now she won't be her party's candidate for chancellor and plans to step down as party chief she says to see to use decision 2 years ago to separate the role of chancellor candidate and party leader was a mistake. that's issues in the instant target that the leadership question is still unresolved to this very day specific leave the issue of who will be the party's candidate for chancellor. we haven't been able to find a solution despite 2 party conventions and apparently some people don't want to resolve this issue. believes the cd you could pick a new party leader at its convention in december she's planning to stay on as defense minister her decision was apparently one she took alone. even

chancellor merkel didn't find out about plans to step down until monday morning. and so i don't quite or i respect this decision picked but i must also say i regret that it's come to this. i can imagine that this was not an easy decision for an incorrect crap are imbalanced in fact you can find this former c.p.u. parliamentary party leader feels like mouth is being honored as a potential successor to comp. in 2018 he narrowly lost the party leadership vote to her both amin lush at the state premier of north rhine-westphalia and german health minister jens spawn are also in the running the tumult in the c.d.u. also has their coalition partner the social democrats worried. the city would feel its city you can't agree on its future direction and has been without

a real leader for a long time lords. seen as the future of the c.d.u. . announcing she stepped in back after only one year as party chief her decision means the c.d.u. will likely be busy for months deciding on a new leader and from on this story i'm joined by the chief political editor. michelle i can't see the afford to wait 4 months to settle this leadership issue given that a new detail could also change the direction in which the party goes. well it says it can but if we've learned one thing from the political storm last week was it which essentially based on reason on peace not following a decision by the main party here in berlin is that decisions don't mean that terribly much at the moment in the conservative c.d.u. party angela merkel's party and that the lido who was unable to bridge a gap between east and west those who want to be more conservative leaning further to the right than the party center here feels comfortable with and those who want

to redefine conservatism does raise a lot of question marks how much of a lame duck she will be whether she can really be the person who brings the party forward and gets it to talk about content like it insists it once too but everybody also within the party is now talking about personnel and 2 that sounds like ours it could be the future and we should the timing of this crisis is not brigit particularly good germany is due to take over the rotating presidency of the european union this summer now our correspondent barbara visit spoke to catalina barley and she's a european parliament member for the social democrats and she asked her how developments in german politics are being viewed there. it's been about like the crisis within the german christian democrats it strikes fear in the heart of many european countries because if it turns into a full book blown government crisis the next step is european crisis how big is the danger what you think well it is

a crisis within the christian democrats there's no doubt about it but now our concern of course is that we keep going as a government and i mean we've seen rough times social democrats and we've proved that this is possible because we we were a very stable partner in the coalition and in the government and this government worked extremely well during the last months so that was really a body from the social democrats michelle and as we heard europe and other parts of the world rely on the stability of germany could the turbulence in general politics lead to a collapse of the german governing coalition. well i don't really see that immediately on the cards but we are seeing more and more factors for instability here in german politics and the in official finishing line for anger mackerels self declared last term in office is this e.u. presidency in the 2nd half of 2020 term runs out towards the end of

2021 and of course there are doubts whether the so-called grand coalition with the social democrats can keep together one also has to bear in mind though that both parties would have a lot more to lose in terms of opinion polls if it came to for fresh elections then they would have to gain also notably there's a difference in perspective with the social democrat leader who we saw in that report kind of happy to see the c.d.u. i'm going to malcolm's party have their own internal woes now and with cutting a barley who formerly was a minister in this very coalition from a brussels perspective wanting to see the government and that means machall in place machall still stands for political stability the problem of her own party now is that it needs to find a constructive credible way out of the political brand machall because that's coming to an end and you know what about the far right alternative for germany now that was the party which played a role in this crisis with regional elections in the state of. ah the benefiting

is the f.t. benefiting from this crisis. yes and no absolutely they've been able to demonstrate that what they consider to be the old parties the centrists parties can be caught off guard and they actually through a trick brought on going to michael's party on their own side in a regional vote that this is a red line for the conservative c.d.u. at the bottom of this is that simply the question of how to deal with the far right here and many is on results it's a debate that the current leader and if they've come come about was able to leads to a constructive outcome within her own party and we're now seeing a rift and the f.d.a. is having a field day by having been able to expose this. chief political editor thank you for that not being the operative but some of the stories making news around the

a surprise because he didn't really want this job i mean he was basically brought in to have to be an advisor to the board earlier on the season then they got rid of their manager and then it was like well young players been here make you a coach and he said ok i'll take over until the end of the season and actually it's only lasted 10 weeks it's a bit of a disaster for him to be fair we can on such an upbeat and optimistic note what are the affected parties need and head to saying about this development well there's obviously a bit of friction here because he put out this facebook post and hatter it seems knew nothing about it had to have now just in the last minute put out a statement saying they're surprised by this decision and they only heard about it today and there was a good hour where there was just his facebook post there normally when this happens the club always announces it 1st now he says he wants to go back to being a member of the bolden advisor will see of her to want that his exact words are

quite telling he says unity cohesion and focus. are the most important things especially in a relegation battle if they are not guaranteed i cannot support my potential as a coach so he's kind of saying there's something going on there or her to be on the scenes that he's not happy with absolutely there's something happening which is not quite right between the 2 sides now where do you see this is this the end of. the month career as a coach definitely i mean i don't think many of a future employers would trust him after this after only 10 weeks he isn't really a coach he's more of a manager he doesn't like doing the day to day business there was a hoo ha earlier on this season because they suddenly realized he didn't actually have a coaching license valid in in germany he left the piece of paper in a drawer in his house in california. he was jimmy coach obviously everyone remembers the fairy tale in 2006 jimmy didn't actually win that tournament he was only there for 2 years never on kind of says you're the germany coach now was
